Taste of Epcot International Festival of the Arts 2021

[1lilspark]

I knew a few artists I follow are showing previews of their festival pieces in the coming weeks

Can we purchase art and have it shipped home somehow? Not sure how things are during COVID times.

One of my favorite Disney artists, Dave Avanzino, just posted on IG that he will be at the festival from Jan 8 - 24 (open to close every day) and that his booth will be located inside World ShowPlace. I was concerned that maybe they wouldn't have the artist booths this year so that's great news for me. And Dave's work is truly spectacular!

That’s interesting that the artists don’t stay the entire length of the Festival, I just assumed they did. I only know Disney artists from what I’ve seen on vlogs, so I’m looking forward to seeing them and their work in person!

Also it seems like they do have everything back from years before, maybe with the exception of the living statues? I don’t remember reading about them but the other artists, performers, and photo ops (which I am so excited about!) are back.

I don't know why they wouldn't offer this. We shipped home pieces last year.

I read you can't send stuff to your resort or the front of the park anymore, so I wasn't sure how they were shipping it. We could just carry it around and ship it from our hotel I guess.

They just announced locations at the front of the parks for stores to send packages. Still nothing back to the resorts.

Awesome, I didn't know that! Thank you!

I have an iPhone and was able to download the App so it's available in the App Store. I browsed through it for a bit and it is FABULOUS! Can't wait until they update it for Festival of the Arts.

I would expect an update after prices are announced and after the current festival ends.

I got this lovely peanut butter frosting thing of beauty last year at Festival of the Arts. They sold it at Sunshine Seasons. Hoping they will have it again. It was heavenly.

Was that a passholder exclusive, do you know? I feel like it was (and we're not passholders) but it looks SO GOOD.
